A pair of vertically adjustable support legs are connected to the cross arm of the inner boom section for supporting the boom when the tractor lift arms are in the lowered position. A fork unit is pivotally connected to the outer end of the outer Section and includes a pyramid-shaped frame having a hollow interior with oppositely disposed downwardly extending side walls. A pair of fork members each include two clevises engaging the frame side walls. A hydraulic cylinder extends between the oppositely disposed frame side walls and through openings formed therein for engagement with upstanding ear elements on the upper edge of the fork members whereby extension of the hydraulic cylinder pivots and forks towards each other and contraction of the hydraulic cylinder pivots the fork members outwardly.
3 Claims, 6 Drawing Figures 4 in FIG. 3.
ther, presently available hay-handling equipment is notsuitable for handling the giant bales or stacks of hay.
There are also other uses for a single man-operated material'handling implement such as moving feed bunks.
The material-handling implement of this invention is mounted on the three-point hitch of a tractor and includes a fork unit on the outer boom section. The fork unit includes oppositely disposed cooperating fork members connected by clevises to opposite side walls of the hollow pyramid-shaped frame. The hydraulic cylinder extends through openings formed in oppositely disposed walls in the frame whereby the hydraulic cylinder enages upstanding ears on the upper edges of the fork members such that expansion of the hydraulic cylinder brings the fork members together and contraction moves them apart. The fork unit is self-centering over a load which is to be moved as the fork unit is pivotally connected to the boom and'the connection of the hydraulic cylinder to the fork members allows the fork members to center over the material to be moved such that an equal force is being applied to the material through each fork member.
-Safety is a significant advantage of the materialhandling implement of this invention. Since the boom is connected to the three-point hitch of the tractorv a substantial load on the boom while the tractor is positioned on an incline willcause the tractor to align itself along a line straight up and down the hill. In other words,- the tractor will turn about a vertical axis through the longitudinal axis of the rear wheels and thereby avert a tipping accident.
' The positioning of the hydraulic cylinder connecting the two boom sections close to the cross arm on the inner section keeps the load close to the'rear axle of the tractor thereby minimizing the tendency to raise the front end of the tractor.
The use of the vertically adjustable support stand allows the boom .to be readily mounted and be dismounted. All that is required is to operate the lift arms relative to the connecting brackets. When the boom is securely mounted on the lift arms the supports may be The material-handling fork of this invention is referred to in FIG. 2 generally by the reference numeral 1 and is shown mounted on the outer section 12 of a' boom 14 having an inner section 16 mounted on the three-point hitch 18 of a tractor 20.
Tractor 20 includes the usual lift arms 22 detachably engaging mounting brackets 24 on a cross arm 26 at the lower end of the inner boom section 16. An upper stabilizer arm 28 is connected between the tractor over the lift arms 22 and is connected to the inner boom section 16 through spaced apart mounting plates 30.
A hydraulic cylinder 32 is mounted at its lower end closely adjacent the cross arm 26 and is connected to the inner end of the outer boom section 12 closely adjacent the pivot 32 therebetween. An apertured ear 34 is provided on the outer boom section 12 'for supporting loads or for use in positioning thehydraulic cables 36. It is also noted that the outer'boom section 12 is extendable in a conventional manner.
The cross arm 26 also includes at its outer ends vertically adjustable supports 38 which engage the ground when in their lower position and when the lift-arms 22 of the tractor are lowered as seen in FIG. 2. A pin 40 may selectively lock the supports 38 in any desiredposition as indicated by the solid and dash-line representations of the supports 38.
The fork' unit 10 includes a basically A-shaped frame 42 which more specifically is hollow on the interior and pyramid in shape. A pair of downwardly extending side walls 44 are interconnected at their ends by end walls 45. Each of the fork units include a transversely extending pivot arm 46 and each arm includes two pairs of clevises 47 connected by pins 48 to the lower edges of the side walls 44 of the frame 42. The pivot arms 46 also each include one upwardly extending ear element 52 to which a double-acting hydraulic cylinder 54 is pyramid-shapedframe member 42 and the walls 44include openings 60 through which the opposite ends of the hydraulic cylinder extend for connection to the ears raised. When the tractor is not supporting the boom the boom is supported on the two support stands and the fork unit.
Thisinvention consists in the construction, arrange-' ments and combination of thevarious parts of thedevice, whereby the objects contemplated are attained as.
An upstanding ear 62 is provided on the vertex of the frame for pivotal connection to an ear 64 on the outer end of'a boom section l2.
The fork members each include three spaced I apart teeth 68 which substantially meet at their points hereinafter more fully set forth, specifically pointed out in the claims, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a fragmentary side elevation view showing the boom and fork mounted on a tractor and the forkbeing used to handle stacked hay.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary perspective view of the boom and fork in a raised position.
FIG. 3 is a cross sectional view taken along line 3 3 in FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a cross sectional view taken along line 4 in a closed position.
70 when the fork is in a closed position as seen in FIG.
In operation it is seen that the boom supported material handling fork of this invention is readily mounted on the three-point hitch of a tractor 20 by connecting the stabilizer'arm 28 and the lift arms 22 to the brackets 30 and 22 respectively. The vertical supports 38 may be raised if desired when the boom is being operated. The boom may be positioned as desired through operation of the lift arms and the hydraulic cylinder 32 which controls the position of the outer boom section 12. The outer boom section 12 may be extended also as desired and the fork unit 10 when used is connected to the outer boom section 12 through the downwardly extending ear 64. When the fork unit 10 is not being used the boom may be used for other lifting purposes.
I The fork unit is self-centering by virtue of the hydraulic The fork is free to pivot through its connection to the other while contraction of the hydraulic cylinder will open the fork. The hydraulic cylinder is substantially enclosed and protected by the hollow pyramid-shaped frame 42.
The fork unit may be readily disassembled by removal of the pin connecting it to the boom and then rei moving the four pins connecting each of the fork assemblies to the A-shaped frame 42. The pins connecting the hydraulic cylinder 54 would also be removed. This case of disassembly enables the entire fork unit to be readily stored and shipped in component parts.
